Where now ?

Recipes and magazine content (so far) sail on, but in February, the BBC Travel website will be closing down, in response to widespread clamour from very few people. A blog post assures us that serious traffic disruption will appear in local and regional BBC news pages online, but that's little use to those of us making cross country journeys.

The BBC says it will save £15m by closing the service, which seems a lot for something so clearly highly automated. A petition to keep it going stood at 1,846 at time of writing, after launching just three days ago.
